And CPython runs Python bytecode, which is basically running in a Python virtual machine. I am not sure what GP is objecting to.

Instead of using AI actors, couldn't we address Hollywood's actor shortage some other way? For example, we could tap the federal Strategic Actor Reserve, or import actors from actor-rich countries such as France and Belgium.

A more apt analogy: I don't consider North Sentinel Island to be part of the modern world, since there is no relevant innovation going on there, it has no influence on the rest of the world, and there is nothing to be learned there.

The domain name reminds me of the venerable DOS "debug.com" command, which managed to combine an interactive and scriptable debugger, assembler, and disassembler into a program weighing a few kilobytes. I spent many long hours in

I agree that that's the point he's making, but I don't see how that would work practically. His attitude is that malloc(1<<63) should immediately crash the system, every time? How is that better?

Always baffling to me that people accuse researchers and doctors, people who have devoted their life to helping others, of brazen greed and deception. With no evidence, of course. Maybe the accusation says more about you than about them?
